Mercury grand marquis 2008 speedometer +5%

Post by Majvall »

Hi!
I used the advance tune 93octane, but now the speedometer shows +5%. It used to be exact on spot, compaired to GPS. How can i fix this?

Here in Sweden we have 95octane, is it possible to tune the car to 95?
Thanks /Peter

did you make any adjustments to the tune for axle ratio or tire size?

Please post the files from the tunes folder on the i2 drive.

Your 95 octane is rated differently but is very similar to our 91 octane fuel.

Hi!
First time i changed the tune to 91octane, speed limiter OFF and nothing else. This time i changed to 91 octane, speed limiter OFF and tire size 225/60 - 16. And the speedometer are still +5%.

Yes! Very accurate! At 50km/h the GPS are 50km/h, at 110km/h the GPS are 109km/h.
After the tune at 50km/h the GPS shows 47km/h and at 110km/h the GPS shows 104km/h.

Thank you. I will try it today.

I changed the paper airfilter to K&N and the exhaustpipe to Magnaflow, do i have to do any adjustments in the tune?

yes, the file should not go in a folder, copy it to the root of the i2 drive.

Hi!
I did copy it to the root of the i2 drive, but i cant find it in my i2. I run the 91 octane once again, but no differense. Still +5%.
What happens if i change the settings on tire size to 17", would that fix the +5%?
